1 Samuel 26:22

22 —Aquí está su lanza, oh rey —dijo David—. Permita que uno de sus jóvenes venga por ella.

1 Samuel 26:22 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 26:22

And David answered and said, behold the king's spear!
&c.] And which perhaps was his sceptre, and which David therefore would not keep, lest it should be thought or said that he had deprived him of an ensign of his royalty, and be interpreted as a token of his design to seize his crown and throne:

and let one of the young men come over and fetch it;
for notwithstanding the acknowledgment Saul had made of his sin and folly, David did not choose to carry the spear to him; not caring to trust him, and put himself into his hands, lest the evil spirit should return and come upon him suddenly, and alter his disposition and carriage; nor would he send any of his men with it, whose lives were dear to him, lest they should be seized as traitors, but desires one of Saul's men might be sent for it.

1 Samuel 26:22 In-Context

20 ¿Debo morir en tierra extranjera, lejos de la presencia del Señor
? ¿Por qué el rey de Israel ha salido a buscar a una sola pulga? ¿Por qué me persigue como a una perdiz en las montañas?

21 Entonces Saúl confesó:
—He pecado. Hijo mío, vuelve a casa, y ya no trataré de hacerte daño, porque hoy has valorado mi vida. He sido un tonto, y he estado muy, pero muy equivocado.

22 —Aquí está su lanza, oh rey —dijo David—. Permita que uno de sus jóvenes venga por ella.

23 El Señor
da su propia recompensa por hacer el bien y por ser leal, y yo rehusé matarlo, aun cuando el Señor
lo puso en mi poder, porque usted es el ungido del Señor
.

24 Ahora que el Señor
valore mi vida, así como hoy yo he valorado la suya. Que él me rescate de todas mis dificultades.
